@jk I'd actually love to have something where I could drop in an old Linux binary and it goes "oh, you need a whole 32-bit Linux stack with an obsolete version of GTK. I'll just shove that in a directory somewhere so it doesn't interfere with your core system".

Hey so my financial situation is starting to be 🚨...
if you could throw something at my ko-fi or patreon it would be a HUGE help ❤
@jk In practice Windows has a lot fewer "system packages" to begin with. Mostly there's OS libraries and stuff shipping with the application.
I feel like a middle ground is possible where your libraries can be shared between applications but they're not "global installs" so installing one doesn't require removing another.
Even a "package manager" that emulates the Windows thing of dropping in a dll would actually be pretty good imo, but to my knowledge no one is doing that.
@jk OK so this particular thing requires a specific audio system (that is probably obsolete) and can't use wrappers. That makes sense to me. And the package manager may have correctly determined that in order to satisfy that requirement, it must replace the audio system.
I feel that this is not a helpful suggestion and the package manager is too clever. Although in my experience that usually results in confusing errors where I have to try 10 different things to figure out what it wants.
kink, productivity
Writing and tracking a todo list is way easier when it's so your domme knows when she can mess with you without interfering with things you need to get done.

Google starts deprecating older, more capable Chrome extensions next week
Chrome's Manifest V3 transition is here. First up are warnings for any V2 extensions.
Yep, work and personal desktop both on Manjaro now.
Personal desktop very broken by upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04. I think I'm just going to install Manjaro.

This short video is brilliant for revealing stigma

Made an alias for git push --force-with-lease so I could get used to using it, despite thinking it wasn't needed if you're the only one pushing to a repo. Well, it saved me from accidentally rebasing and trying to push a stale revision of a merge request (from working on it in multiple locations and forgetting to fetch).

hey friends, I am looking for a new (cheaper) place to live for September. I'm thinking the "big house with a bunch of queers" route is the way to go. does anybody know anybody looking to fill a room or put a group together? I prefer to stay in Somerville but it's not a dealbreaker
@InfiniteNutshell Oops, should've asked first: Are boosts for visibility OK?
Traumagenic plurality, threat/fear, repression, amnesia
@Sophie We tried not being plural for a few days and it sucks. I don't recommend it.
FWIW I do believe it is possible to heal and you don't have to give up your plurality to do it, but whether and when and how to do that is your choice and you deserve to make it without pressure.
You're rad and I hope you keep getting more rad. -iore
